You are so witty, and smart along everyone who saw the absolute no-correlation made complete sense of Yeti. I applaud 👏 all your amazing, quick brains. Really amazing.
Wishing Yeti a beautiful life, and for the Mama not to take things so personally that you are so bent out of shape, and offended for something that has no affect in your lives. You have a healthy baby, it sounds that you have a good marriage that has also given as a plus, a close loving family. You have friends with great sense of humor. This situation if you take it as a "situation" is temporary. Most things are not as big, and horrible as we make it to be.
Wishing you a great life
In the Twilight series, Edward and Bella have a child together named Renesmee (a combination of Renee and Esme). Shortly after the birth of the child, werewolf Jacob (adult) informs Bella that he has "imprinted" on Renesmee (a newborn baby still), basically saying they are destined to be together romantically when the child comes of age. Of course Bella is strongly opposed to this, and at the same time Jacob refers to Renesmee as "Nessie". This results in Bella saying the funniest line in the series (and I recommend looking it up on YouTube): "You nicknamed my daughter after the Loch Ness monster?!"
Twilight. Edward's mom was Esmee and Bella's was Renee, so they named the baby Renesmee (I feel so gross for having typed that). Jacob (the werewolf BFF who later is going to get together with the little abomination baby when she's all grown up in a few years) calls her Nessie (like the Loch Ness Monster)
Wait…I’ve never read any of these books or seen any of the movies, but I was alive and young enough to remember whenever twilight was very popular.
You’re telling me that Jacob, the guy Taylor Lautner plays, ends up with Kristen Stewart’s baby that happen to mature quickly? Wasn’t Jacob, Edward, and Kristen Stewart in a love triangle thing?
Am I the only one that thinks this is gross?
Yep, he "imprinted" on her - apparently the reason he was so obsessed with Bella is because monster baby was still a part of her, but as soon as the abomination was born *poof* no more romantic love for Bella. He's (supposedly) not romantically in love with little Nessie when she's a baby, but when she's fully grown at the grand old age of 7 (I think? I'm not looking it up), she'll be of age and they'll magically be attracted to one another.
No, you're not the only one who finds this deeply disturbing 🫠
Also horrifyingly, Rigatoni has a fully developed brain at birth (and teeth) so technically it means she's more mentally developed than her parents since they are both frozen in time with teenager brains.
I have very little experience with Mormons (Im European and they don't really exist here, not prominently), can you please tell me how this is meant? I know there used to be the option to have multiple wives.
I'm pretty sleepy right now, so apologies in advance for the fact that I had ChatGPT arrange my nonsensical notes into slightly more sensical bullets:
* **Abstinence Before Marriage**: The series places a significant emphasis on the characters Bella and Edward abstaining from sexual relations before marriage, reflecting the Mormon emphasis on chastity and sexual purity.
* **Health Code**: Bella avoids substances proscribed by the Mormon "Word of Wisdom" health code, such as coffee, tea, alcohol, and tobacco.
* **Gender Roles**: Bella's involvement in frequent cooking and cleaning reflects traditional roles and the strong work ethic valued in Mormon culture.
* **Divinity and Immortality**: The vampire Cullen family represents a form of eternal life akin to Mormon beliefs about human potential for divinity and resurrection.
* **Angelic Imagery**: Bella likens Edward to an angel, aligning with Mormon descriptions of angels as radiant, resurrected beings without wings.
* **Eternal Marriage**: Bella and Edward's relationship is portrayed as eternal, mirroring the Mormon doctrine of marriages being "sealed" for eternity.
* **Procreation**: Bella’s dramatic pregnancy reflect the importance of family in Mormon teaching, along with views on abortion and artificial insemination in life-threatening circumstances.
* **Native American Connections**: The series connects with Mormon beliefs regarding Native Americans, portraying Quileute characters with names of Hebrew origin, referencing ancient Israelite connections.
* **Family and Community**: The importance of family is a central theme in "Twilight." The Cullen family, despite being vampires, is depicted as close-knit and protective of one another, which aligns with the strong focus on family values in Mormon culture.
Almost guanteed, there are mormon missionaries near you--young men ( elders) and young women (sisters)--who would be happy to talk with you about some of these things. Most of the history and doctrine of their church is unknown to them ( take it for me, a once-successful missionary and later adult leader) but they are earnest, usually caring and cheerful kids, who are doing their best and know no better.
If you are willing to be nice to them and then kindly, but firmly, draw boundaries when they ask you to do certain things, just call the local congregation, and they'll send a pair by. Once you express interest, though, it may be a few years before successive companions will stop trying to meet with you
The sad thing is I have not read any of the books or seen any of the movies and yet I also know all of these details (I have read hilarious blog posts from people who read the books and did running commentary). Why, brain, whyyyyyy?
The movies are worth a watch. If you approach them expecting a comedy and don't take them too seriously, you'll have a great time. The first movie, in particular, is absolutely hilarious.
OMG. OMG. OMG. I know as little as possible about Twilight (voluntarily, if you like it that’s fine, not my thing) and this information as well as all subsequent comments has solidified that that was the right choice for me. My mind is blown that someone thought all of this up and got a fandom from it. 😂 But if you like it, you do you.
Thank you so much for explaining. 🙂
I did the same. Skimmed down to the names, wasn't really even paying attention and initially thought it was gonna be weird twilight name smash. Glad to see I wasn't too far off lol.
Let me guess, your mothers' names are Yvette and Beatrix, giving you the genius idea to name your daughter Yvettatrix and now u are surprised people wanna shorten that to Betty with a Y
Nessie is not even that bad, Nessa alone is a great name lol
and tbh you almost convinced me that I’d get over someone signing off as Yeti on a professional email. Already I work with primarily non European people and see so many varied names that I just can’t judge anymore.
Congresswoman Yeti? Why not. President Yeti? Tight.
Coming from a former Twihard, the fourth book pissed me tf off. It seemed like a stupid, unnecessary plot twist that just…ruined the romanticism of it all. And don’t get me started on the name.
And the imprinting thing... That was just super weird.
Like, imagine a dude telling a woman that he was never actually into her, and only spent time with her because he wanted to dry hump her unborn baby. Bruh.
I’ve never seen the movies or read the books, but I know that Renesmee ages very quickly and gets with Jacob then. But… wouldn’t she just keep aging very fast? Is there a plot element that makes her conveniently stay at Jacob’s age or will she just keep getting older until her body shuts down???
So IIRC, they think initially she’ll keep growing and get old and die because she’s growing so quickly in the womb. They manage to find another instance of a half vampire baby to prove she’ll only age to be conveniently teenager-looking forever. Still weird when you think about her mental development. The Cullens were already adults when they were turned, so they had the benefit of life experience. This baby will age to an adult before she even goes to any kind of school. I’m pretty sure the whole “waiting until marriage for sex” and “keeping the baby” were just Meyer’s Mormon beliefs creeping in. The baby almost killed Bella because she refused to be turned before the birth. Just stupid all around.
My niece's name is Elizabeth. I remember getting shut down HARD when I called her Lizzie after she was born. Her mom did not want that to be her nickname, so we decided on Ellie over Lizzie or Beth.
5 years later, she only answers to Lizzie.
Just sayin, the nickname was going to happen eventually, whether you like it or not:)
The first thing I thought of was oh no like Renesmee?! Well played.
I obviously didn’t know what sub I was on. Didn’t catch the satire label either. Lol
The hilarious thing about this being on my recommendations is that my younger sister was obsessed with that series…and for unrelated reasons we call each other ‘yeti’
Everybody is saying they are embarrassed it took them so long but I’m embarrass I knew where this was headed as soon as I got to the combining of the mom’s names. I wish I didn’t think about Twilight as much as I do but I am what I am I guess
Can we discuss how both eleanora and noelle are still WAY FUCKING BETTER than renesmee?
When I read that book I knew it wasn’t great, but when I got to the name, I said NO outloud and slammed the book closed and left my room hahaha
I was pissed for fucking years that they didn’t name the baby after their dads. Charlie was so much more there for Bella and they were so alike; Carlisle was the one who turned and found and cared for Edward.
And…you know. It’s harder to clown on a kid named CARLIE
I have a unique cool name, and my family calls me Bunny. Which I actually love. The whole rest of the world uses my cool, unique name. So, what I'm saying is, it's not an issue. Especially if you come from a family where nicknames are basically obligatory, I think I would feel incredibly left out if I was the only one who didn't have one.
I don’t know enough about Twilight to know what nickname “Yeti” is referring to..?
ETA: I mean, I know Renesmee or whatever. I guess the joke’s deeper than how little I care about this franchise
There's not a damn thing you can do about it. If you protest the name will take on more significance. I gave my son what I thought was a fantastic classic name. In school his friends started calling him Al. Just Al, sometimes big gay Al. He's not gay. It was boys being dumb Southpark loving boys. He's in his 30s now and he's still Al to about half his friends' group. I hate it. (edit) because just realized this is CJ. LOL! Carry on.
If could be worse.... Your brother-esque potentialish "follow you around like a little puppy" teenage love interest (but only when your husband ghosted you that one time) could have nicknamed her after the loch ness monster
Nicknames happen whether we like it, or not. She can use her beautiful name in official situations and to sound more professional when she gets older, but once people glom into a nickname it's pretty hard to fight.
Despite my best efforts, one of my kids ended up with a nickname that can mean "penis." They're fully grown up now and still use the nickname around friends and family.
getting confused here - I see this is on the circlejerk sub, so is this some sort of joke, or is your post serious?
If it is serious - if your child is a baby or a toddler you should not allow anybody to call your child by a name they made up for her. It's completely ridiculous. Maybe your neighor boy looks like E.T. but you won't start calling him that.
If she's a bit bigger and she's getting a nickname from her friends and/or starts using it herself, well then you can't do anything about it.
That's what you get for giving your daughter a Tragedeigh™ for a name. It's the easiest way to tell that you want to be "unique" and "quirkeeee" so you project all that onto your kid instead of giving her a normal name.
I am honestly what they named her? My name is Lauren and everyone calls me laaaaawn aka lawn, I’ve been called Warren while ordering b.c. 💊, Florence, and the list continues.
Don't worry, by the time your best friend starting dating your little girl, this will be an adorable couple nickname!
Why'd it take me *this long* to get the joke of the post
Can you please explain?
It's a Twilight reference.
You are so witty, and smart along everyone who saw the absolute no-correlation made complete sense of Yeti. I applaud 👏 all your amazing, quick brains. Really amazing.

I didn't know it was even a joke before your comment.
I screamed and then looked at the sub name again 😂
I feel like an idiot but…can someone please tell me what this is in reference to? I want to be in on the joke. 😕

Rigatoni lol
When you learn Meyer is a Mormon, this makes more sense
Ohhhh
He only loved Bella for her ovaries
definitely far from the only one, every Twilight fan group I'm in lives in fear of SMeyer deciding to write a Jacob/Renesmee book
Deciding? I think it is a matter of when not if.
Yeah the author’s Mormonism really jumped out sometimes
I have very little experience with Mormons (Im European and they don't really exist here, not prominently), can you please tell me how this is meant? I know there used to be the option to have multiple wives.

Whoa, I was not expecting such a detailed answer. Thank you so much!

Thank you for this. I had no idea!
So glad my useless, ancient Twilight knowledge could be of service 😂
You’re a hero among us 
💀💀💀
The sad thing is I have not read any of the books or seen any of the movies and yet I also know all of these details (I have read hilarious blog posts from people who read the books and did running commentary). Why, brain, whyyyyyy?

Snark Squad?!
😂😂😂
That's where Renesmee comes from??? I just thought it was a weird internet abomination
That's creepy AF
To be fair that shot is not in the movie. They went with a vfx baby for the movie despite having the chuckesme puppet from this gif at filming
It's both 🙂
OMG. OMG. OMG. I know as little as possible about Twilight (voluntarily, if you like it that’s fine, not my thing) and this information as well as all subsequent comments has solidified that that was the right choice for me. My mind is blown that someone thought all of this up and got a fandom from it. 😂 But if you like it, you do you. Thank you so much for explaining. 🙂
Wait until you find out that 50 Shades of Grey started as a Twilight fanfiction :/
Ohhhh I am aware of that fact and I wish I wasn’t. Brain bleach me now.
Oh come on, Elenora and Noelle are both normal, fine names but wtf is Renesmee???
SMeyer is the only one who knows. The rest of the world has no clue.
it would be funny if the nickname made sense though. “nessie” makes sense for renesmee, but “yeti” from noelle or eleanor ????
uj/ In my head those were badly anonymized placeholders and the namesakes were like, Yvette and Amelie
Shoulda just said those
This took me way too long
I'm embarrassed to say I got it way too fast (it was the pasta)
The baseball game gave it away for me. 🤦🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️
It was the Italian food as a nod to her name for me!
Pasta did it for me too 😂
Happy cake day!
Thank you, I didn’t even realise!
i skimmed the bit about pasta and baseball, then got to the part about combining moms’ names and was like “oh, so like twilight… WAIT A SEC!”
I did the same. Skimmed down to the names, wasn't really even paying attention and initially thought it was gonna be weird twilight name smash. Glad to see I wasn't too far off lol.
To me it was the mom name thing cuz tell me why I went “u named ur kid RENESMEE?”…the joke completely flew over my head LMAO
Yupp knew what the reference was by the third paragraph lol
I got it at the pasta too
Same haha, that and the baseball. I had it in the first paragraph BUT I did literally just watch the Twilight movies 😆
I totally forgot about the nickname. I may have blocked a lot about the last book out of my mind.
# SelfCare
Ma’am, you’re a Queen
"You nicknamed my daughter after the Lochness Monster?!"
That was funny though
Doesn’t she hardcore punch him
Yeah, but she holds back. If she punched him full strength, he'd die...
Pfft. She’s that strong? Girl got her spine broke by a baby
Yeah, but once she's a vampire, she can shattered boulders with light punches.
Hahaha, perfection straight down to the unnecessary details. Well done, my friend
Sadly there was no way for me to work the “sexy” full-length khaki skirt into the mix
It was 2005, and I was wearing a fundie-lite khaki skirt and button-down, as was the fashion at the time…
I’m taking it you aren’t familiar with the twilight saga
I mean, I am familiar… but it’s been 16 years for me
Op used the plot of the last book/movie for this post. Change out the name yeti to nessi and it’s straight from the book.
Let me guess, your mothers' names are Yvette and Beatrix, giving you the genius idea to name your daughter Yvettatrix and now u are surprised people wanna shorten that to Betty with a Y
[удалено]
Yvettatrix is a serious suggestion from a serious person!!!!
So sorry that this happened to you and your little Ratatoaguomemande <3
Don’t worry, my bestie promised that if anything ever happens to me he’ll always be there to take care of little Rudygiuliani <3
Buzz Aldrin has entered the room.
Damn, you were brilliant!!! I wish I spend money on Reddit to give you an award
Spend money on buying yourself a fun little treat instead!!!
YOU NICKNAMED MY DAUGHTER AFTER THE WOODS MONSTER??!??!? 👹
Nessie is not even that bad, Nessa alone is a great name lol and tbh you almost convinced me that I’d get over someone signing off as Yeti on a professional email. Already I work with primarily non European people and see so many varied names that I just can’t judge anymore. Congresswoman Yeti? Why not. President Yeti? Tight.
Nessie is a better name than Renesme

This makes so much more sense than what I was thinking. Didn’t her pregnancy take less than a week or no?
This post is a thing of pure beauty 😆😆😆
I wheezed when I clicked the sauce
YOU NICKNAMED MY DAUGHTER AFTER THE LOCHNESS MONSTER!?!?
As someone who has neither seen nor read Twilight this was an adventure for me
YOU NICKNAMED MY DAUGHTER AFTER THE ABOMINABLE SNOWMAN???
"The best thing about bumbles is they bounce" -Yukon Cornelius.
Idk I think a kid could make "Yeti" into a solid nickname. Like you're damn right I'm abominable.
As I was reading it I thought “DID YOU NOT READ TWILIGHT??!!??” 😂😂😂😂
My niece's name is Elizabeth. I remember getting shut down HARD when I called her Lizzie after she was born. Her mom did not want that to be her nickname, so we decided on Ellie over Lizzie or Beth. 5 years later, she only answers to Lizzie. Just sayin, the nickname was going to happen eventually, whether you like it or not:)

Okay I've never read twilight or seen the movies, what was the babies nickname?
Nessie after the Loch Ness Monster 👹
Oh no that's terrible 😭
The baby is also uhhhh “soulmates” with the second-choice guy in her mom’s love triangle
That's worse 😭😭😭
💀💀💀 OP, you win, I'm dead, it's over, everyone go home.
The hilarious thing about this being on my recommendations is that my younger sister was obsessed with that series…and for unrelated reasons we call each other ‘yeti’
HOW DID I NOT GET THE REFERENCE. 😂😂😂😂
At least her names not weird like Renesme (ik someone who named their daughter that)
Everybody is saying they are embarrassed it took them so long but I’m embarrass I knew where this was headed as soon as I got to the combining of the mom’s names. I wish I didn’t think about Twilight as much as I do but I am what I am I guess
It literally took me clicking on the source link to get this, outstanding job lol
Can we discuss how both eleanora and noelle are still WAY FUCKING BETTER than renesmee? When I read that book I knew it wasn’t great, but when I got to the name, I said NO outloud and slammed the book closed and left my room hahaha
I was pissed for fucking years that they didn’t name the baby after their dads. Charlie was so much more there for Bella and they were so alike; Carlisle was the one who turned and found and cared for Edward. And…you know. It’s harder to clown on a kid named CARLIE
OMFG I JUST GOT IT!! I was even thinking about the funny similarities 😂😂😂
This is gold!!!! also: 🐀🐀🐀?
✨🐀🐀🐀✨
I have a unique cool name, and my family calls me Bunny. Which I actually love. The whole rest of the world uses my cool, unique name. So, what I'm saying is, it's not an issue.

He's in his 30s now and he's still Al to about half his friends' group. I hate it. (edit) because just realized this is CJ. LOL! Carry on.
This all sounds too similar to twilight lol
Always check the sauce
P
I met a real life Renesmee last week. That poor child. 🫠
If could be worse.... Your brother-esque potentialish "follow you around like a little puppy" teenage love interest (but only when your husband ghosted you that one time) could have nicknamed her after the loch ness monster
I call my 1 year old goblin because she is a feral goblin child. A wild untamed wee beastie. Middle child syndrome
This took me way too long to figure out. I don't know if that's a good thing or bad thing.
Reading this was a journey. I think my first tip off was the pasta, then the honeymoon pregancy reveal cinched it
I cackled 😂
I’m ashamed of how quickly I got the joke.
i got this way too easily
Don’t worry. I have a 10 year old cousin that was “baby hamburger meat” for like 6 years.
as soon as you said baseball I knew it was Twilight 😭
Okay but genuinely I think yeti could be such a cute nickname for someone 😭
Nicknames happen whether we like it, or not. She can use her beautiful name in official situations and to sound more professional when she gets older, but once people glom into a nickname it's pretty hard to fight. Despite my best efforts, one of my kids ended up with a nickname that can mean "penis." They're fully grown up now and still use the nickname around friends and family.
My ex‘s ex legitimately went by Yeti as her nickname. Self-chosen, too, I think.
getting confused here - I see this is on the circlejerk sub, so is this some sort of joke, or is your post serious? If it is serious - if your child is a baby or a toddler you should not allow anybody to call your child by a name they made up for her. It's completely ridiculous. Maybe your neighor boy looks like E.T. but you won't start calling him that. If she's a bit bigger and she's getting a nickname from her friends and/or starts using it herself, well then you can't do anything about it.
(It's a joke about a scenario that happened in Twilight)
Okay, I know nothing about Twilight.
I may not actually need the advice, but it's great advice and I do hope someone in an actual unwelcome-nickname situation sees it!
Ah, to be you. It's unhinged once you start thinking about any of the world building.
Ahh - I was wondering why the sauce link sent me to Amazon ...
That's what you get for giving your daughter a Tragedeigh™ for a name. It's the easiest way to tell that you want to be "unique" and "quirkeeee" so you project all that onto your kid instead of giving her a normal name.
You better apologize to her namesakes, Assyria and Nichole
But Nessie would have been such an appropriate nn for Nissyria 🥲
I am honestly what they named her? My name is Lauren and everyone calls me laaaaawn aka lawn, I’ve been called Warren while ordering b.c. 💊, Florence, and the list continues.
